Yeah I'm aware back when everyone was ditching these but decided to give it a shot since I've been sitting on this frame for so long. Honestly the parts are too nice for this frame so if I hate it I'll swap everything to a State Bicycle Undefeated 2 if they ever come back in stock. (Winks lustily at retrogresssion)

Don’t you perhaps mean “added to my stable” ? Do you make love to your bikes ?

I dont kiss and tell...unless I've had at least 4 beers.

I couldnt wait for my nicer izumi jet black chain so I threw on a cheap 10 dollar Kmc for now.

My previous snarky comment aside, the purple 725 was always my favorite. Unfortunately the one I had creaked like an old bar stool right out of the box.

That's the reason why I liked this one so much was the color. So far no creaks, but we'll see as I put more miles on it. My gf says I should just get an Undefeated II and sell the leader lol.

My 722 (2011/12? I forget) is still rollin strong. Built it myself from the ground up and have never had a single issue.

Admittedly, they are a bit wonky in geo department but it fits well enough. I have a blast riding it and that’s what matters most :thumb:

Bump. Minor changes to the 721tr, new ESI Extra Chunky grips with Fyxation bar plugs and Dia-Compe Tech 99 brake lever. Still ride this bike a lot.
